Odds and Ends

More random found stuff.  Lots more single shoes, but the first actual pair.  The large, white fleshed roots are some kind of turnip, maybe?  They were under the rubble of a tile roof for years.  I´m particularly fond of the axe-head.

And, for a second, at first, I thought this was rhubarb.  But that would be silly since probably no one around here knows what rhubarb is. I think it´s Rheum palmatum instead.  Stems are fleshy and solid.  Thoughts?

Meanwhile, on the inside

We stained and varnished the kitchen floors, which were increasingly difficult to keep clean. Lots of hands and knees cleaning and then staining, but we´re happy with it.

You can see the doors we´re still refinishing have been hung.  They helped when the weather was colder to keep the heat where you wanted it, but mostly it´s more convenient to hang them than store them someplace.  Really and truly finishing them is on the list for this summer.

And a visiting BIL helped hang the kitchen light over the sink.  We have 2 more to go in the laundry area and the small bath.  Love how retro it looks.
